This policy applies to 日本无码鈥檚 collection, use and disclosure of personal information in addition to, as applicable, 日本无码鈥檚 privacy procedures, and its public-facing privacy notices, including, but not limited to, its Web Privacy Policy.

To support 日本无码 in meeting its privacy obligations, 日本无码 maintains procedures for:

If an individual from whom 日本无码 has collected personal information wishes to withdraw their consent and/or place restrictions on the use or disclosure of their personal information, 日本无码 will take reasonable steps to comply with the individual鈥檚 request. A request to withdraw consent is valid from the date that it is made and does not apply retroactively to 日本无码鈥檚 collection, use and/or disclosure of personal information and may be subject to legal and/or contractual restrictions.

Third party service providers are expected to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information and only use personal information for the provision of services to 日本无码, and in compliance with applicable law.

Safeguards

日本无码 uses appropriate safeguards to protect personal information against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, use or modification. The methods of protection include physical, organizational, and technological measures.

日本无码 also requires third parties who are provided with personal information, including its independent reviewers and members of committees, its contractors and consultants, its partners, etc. to keep such information confidential, to use it only for the specific purpose for which it was provided, and to manage and protect it at all times in accordance with standards established by 日本无码.

日本无码 aims to adhere to the principles of OCAP (Ownership, Access, Possession and Control) as it pertains to the collection, use and disclosure of information about First Nations; OCAS (Ownership, Control, Access, and Stewardship) as it pertains to the collection, use and disclosure of information about M茅tis; and Inuit Research Principles as it pertains to the collection, use and disclosure of information about Inuit. These principles establish how information should be collected, accessed, used, and shared. 日本无码 will seek to endeavor to obtain express consent to obtain, use and disclose any information pertaining to First Nations, Inuit, or M茅tis in accordance with these principles when possible, recognizing that 日本无码 may not always be aware of situations where this is applicable (for example, if an individual has not disclosed to 日本无码 that they are First Nations, Inuit, or M茅tis).

Privacy breaches will be promptly reported to the Vice-President, Organizational Performance and Corporate Services/delegate. 日本无码 will respond to and resolve all privacy breaches in accordance with its privacy breach management procedures.

日本无码 makes information about its policies and practices relating to the management of personal information readily available on its public website.

Individual Access

日本无码 will take reasonable efforts to provide an individual, on request, with access to the records of their personal information that 日本无码 has collected and retained, and with information about how that information has been used, and to whom it has been disclosed. 日本无码 will request and verify identifying information from the requester prior to the release of any personal information. 日本无码 will respond to all requests for access to personal information within 30 calendar days unless a reasonable extension is required. There will be no cost for reasonable requests to access information.

In certain situations, 日本无码 may not be able to provide access to all the personal information it holds about an individual. This may include, but is not limited to, situations in which disclosure would breach legal privilege, reveal confidential commercial information, reveal information collected for an investigation or legal proceeding, reveal personal information about another person, or any other reason provided under applicable legislation. The specific exemptions available will depend on the applicable law. In such instances, the reasons for denying access will be provided to the individual. If the request for access involves information that is under the control of another organization with whom 日本无码 partners, 日本无码 will direct the individual to the other organization.

日本无码 will correct, on request, any factual inaccuracies in personal information that 日本无码 has collected or retained, once satisfactory evidence is provided by the individual to whom it relates, or by a program applicant, partner or co-funder with the knowledge and consent of the individual to whom it relates.

Personnel files are the property of 日本无码. Depending on the jurisdiction of employment, currently employed 日本无码 employees may request to review a copy of their personnel file. If an employee believes information about them is incorrect, they may request an update of that information by making a request to a Human Resources representative. Where information will be disclosed to an employee, 日本无码 will endeavour to provide the information in question within a reasonable time. 日本无码 may require sufficient information to allow it to confirm that the person making the request is authorized to do so before granting access or making corrections. 日本无码 may, subject to applicable laws, decline to provide access to personal information contained in personnel files.

Challenging Compliance

An individual will be able to address a challenge concerning compliance with the above principles to the Vice-President, Organizational Performance and Corporate Services.

The Vice-President, Organizational Performance and Corporate Services/delegate will respond to all privacy inquiries and complaints within 10 business days.
